Thank you, although very difficult no longer covers it, as he had to be put to sleep this morning.

Aye it's not the best, but it certainly takes your mind off football.

My one word: football?

What?

I thought an extra incentive of finishing second would be to first play at home, and as an added bonus, get to keep all the gate money.

Well if that's the case, sod the Torvill & Dean moments, because we can now go and enjoy ourselves knowing it doesn't matter where we finish!

In all likelihood I would be heading to HH, but my Border Collie has decided to get Cancer, and as he's far more intelligent than me sen (and most of the people I know) I thought I might stay with him to see if I can learn anything.

Hemel 0- 3 Torquay

There is football justice in the world - it's called a points system!

Do we really want to make up the goal difference between us and Truro - let us look at the alternatives?

Losing out to Truro by one goal would be like a Torvill & Dean moment, a Pure Cosmic Alignment.

Alternatives: of course we still have to win this coming Saturday, but on doing so, that will put us top of the also rans and looking at another sold out Plainmoor. No season tickets for this one, just money in the bank for next season. On winning that game () that would mean yet another sold out home game, and the need to open another bank account to hold all the money!

That is my preference: Pure Cosmic Alignment, and " loads a money!"

With a little bit of foresight (don't worry, I didn't see it either) what is happening now was pretty much destined to take place!

If you're still a bit lost - Torquay & Truro.

Damn, that means the bloody calculators will come out again!

Cheer up, you won't be able to moan for a lot longer with the season ending soon!

My words "Common sense has to eventually take over" does not apply to everyone!

If we lose this one there will be no further need for maths or even math! Common sense has to eventually take over and that's the end of being promoted as champions.

Something tells me that this is not going to be a tight game, so let's hope it's us who step up and not Truro!

I would imagine the manager has a lot on his mind at the moment, what with Truro looking 'andsom at the top of the table, and him almost expecting a defeat against Chesham!

So are you saying that because I don't go along with YOUR way of thinking I need to "seek help?"

Yours was a simple post, but I'm sure it garnered a little bit of the attention you so desperately need.

The next time you decide to post something simple, you might want to add a bit more umph to it: ie, mention something about The Manager, the likelihood that Truro will be Champions and will get out of this shit awful league while we continue to flounder in it. Perhaps comment on the size of the crowd, or why it was guaranteed we were yet again beaten by a Semi-Professional outfit - indeed, all the things I spoke about.

You run along now.

Well that didn't take too long to happen, and in truth it's probably fortuitous that the Tits have gone Up so quickly, because even the teams in the National League would put us to the sword - let alone in the actual league itself!

Crowd around 3700, so almost as if the crowd were expecting the result!

Truro top, don't you just know what is going to happen. We have their previous manager...

This is the answer according to AI tool: ChatGPT

"Gary Johnson: If not already in charge, his knowledge of the National League could help Torquay consolidate their position in the league after promotion"

This alone tells you all you need to know about 'Artificial Intelligence'

I'm with AI on this one! AI has now done some sort of test devised by Alan Turing and has beat the crap out of it, unlike 100% of humans who attempted it and failed.

Under different circumstances (owners etc) Gary Johnson would have done far better, although in his first two seasons we were promoted and then reached the playoffs!

All of us will remember an incident which happened on London Bridge a few years back, involving a football fan who followed a certain team.

This alone tells you all you need to know about 'Human Intelligence.'

It's all gone very quiet after that win, with people thinking (like me) now that Worthing have become catchable when in typical Torquay United fashion will it all start to go 'Tits Up?'

This has become a very interesting game, not only defining our season by putting us in a playoff position (mathematically?) should we win, but also defining us if we lose!
